About this study

Official title: The Effect of Exercise Therapy on Balance and Pain in Painful Shoulder Disorders

20 adults who applied to the orthopedic clinic with shoulder pain, did not require surgical intervention, were referred to the physiotherapy clinic for treatment; will be evaluated in terms of balance, pain and joint range of motion and then included in the exercise program. 20 adults without pain will be evaluated as the control group and the results will be compared within and between groups. Our hypothesis is that the balance will improve and pain will decrease in individuals after exercise.

Read the detailed description

20 adults who applied to the orthopedic clinic with shoulder pain, did not require surgical intervention, were referred to the physiotherapy clinic for treatment; will be evaluated in terms of balance, pain and joint range of motion and then included in the exercise program. 20 adults without pain will be evaluated as the control group and the results will be compared within and between groups. Exercises will be applied 3 days a week for 4 weeks, 45-55 minutes by a physiotherapist within the framework of shoulder rehabilitation. In addition, balance exercises will not be given. Balance measurements will be made by the Biodex Balance System, which provides objective data.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Balance Measurement

    By Biodex Balance System Stability and Fall Risk, static and dynamic

    Measured: 4 week

  2. Pain Intensity

    By Visual Analogue Scale scored between 0-10. 0 means no pain and 10 means unbearable pain.

    Measured: 4 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Range of Motion

    By Goniometer shoulder range of motion will be measured

    Measured: 4 week
